Your mobo should support all current graphics cards from slowest to fastest..What's your budget for the upgrade? Can't you upgrade the whole system? Its so old !

I am planning to buy a 1GB or 512mb nvidia geforce 9500 gt graphics card for my pc soon

Don't. Save up the money and get a 4830. Minimum, get a 4670 which beats the 9500GT by a fair ammount. See:
http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3405&p=7

Considering that the 9500GT is ~$60-65 (before MIR), the 4670(~$60 after MIR; $70 before MIR) is a very good price vs. performance option. Prices based off of Newegg's current prices.

Ya thats right also 4650 is better than 9500 gt...i will try to get it if available..but tell will these work with my mobo????

As I told you, all current gfx cards use the 16x PCI-E slot which you have, so just snap it in and install the driver!

thanxxx Shadow703793 for the info but can i get it in india via newegg???

^Ah.... you never said any thing about being outside US. No idea where you can buy them in India. AFAIK Newegg doesn't ship to India. Perhaps if you have family/friends/relatives in the US they may be able to ship it to you?
